Grrrr....

I’m happy to see you are attempting to fix issues, but game is in pretty bad stage now. I never had issues with nerfing overpowered builds of broken mechanics, but you decided to nerf end game for majority of players. Yes, there are people who will blindly support any decision you make and pretend to enjoy everything, but truth to the matter is that game is not enjoyable for a lot of players. Fracturing nerf wasn’t necessary (for example, we already had to reveal split copies of blueprints, it already had high cost associated with it and rewards were already nerfed as well to the level where fracturing BP wasn’t super rewarding), delirium maps didn’t have to be nerfed either (again, it already was gated behind few exalts per map between fossils/sextants/scarabs/prophecies and on top of it you needed an actual build to be able to run them, this alone was putting high price tag on running them) and don’t even get me started on that overnerfed harvest, with - again - empty promises of keeping the rare crafts on same rarity level. I ditched harvest 2 hours after I was finally able to play, did about 80 harvests (staying on standard this time, again, league looks recycled) without seeing EVEN ONE T4 craft, EVEN ONE augment or remove non/augment WITH fully rolled watchstones etc.

End game is non existent for a lot of people now, and the rebalanced rewards are a joke, outside of the Lab (which you will most likely “adjust” after this league because it’s prolly too rewarding)

I love the game and I have no issues pumping $$$ into support but this is getting a bit out of hand.

Most of us PoE players agree with this post. All those nerfs are simply ABSURD, to say the least. They are ridiculous, and absolutely destroy the fun for us players (affecting both casual and hardcore players). What a shame GGG, what a shame.

I'm a long time PoE and GGG supporter, but my supporter pack purchases and any other game related payments are on HALT, untill you guys undo all this nonsense (especially regarding harvest, It was straight bullsh*t to nerf it this way). As of now, the game is going downhill with all those absurd nerfs (and don't get me started with this ridiculous texture streaming that is probably the WORST idea GGG implemented so far).

You guys are losing peoples's trust and endorsement with those shady moves, including myself. I'd suggest a huge change on your behavior, otherwise you will fall, and we'll move on. The clock is ticking. ACT FAST!
